UNSPSC 56112106: Stool seating

UNSPSC 56112106 Stool seating is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of classroom and office seating, including student chairs, office chairs, and activity-table seating in both traditional and contemporary styles, as well as related classroom and office furniture such as desks, file cabinets, storage units, and display boards. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (typically purchasing through cooperative purchasing agencies or direct procurement), county governments, and multi-jurisdictional service cooperatives. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), serving 35 Georgia school systems, and Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit purchasing cooperative, have both solicited furniture and seating inventory recently. Work under the code ranges from annual stock replenishment of classroom seating in specified colors and materials to broader office-furniture bundles where stool seating and chairs are procured alongside desks, cabinets, and accessories. Vendors quoted firm, F.O.B. destination pricing inclusive of delivery, with estimated annual volumes ranging from 2 to 150 units per line item depending on product and customer.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicles. CPA issued an IFB (Bid #2027-007) for warehouse stock furniture and supplies with a response deadline of September 22, 2026 at 8:45 a.m., covering classroom and office seating, desks, and storage across estimated annual volumes of 2 to 150 units per item, with contract period January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027 and NET 30 payment terms. Sourcewell issued an RFP (#061626) on behalf of participating counties in Washington State and other jurisdictions nationwide to establish a law-enforcement-equipment contracting vehicle with a June 16, 2026 deadline; this solicitation mixes stool seating with broader law enforcement equipment procurement and may not reflect a core stool-seating focus. Geographic spread is limited in the recent record to Georgia and Washington State cooperative purchasing. New vendors to CPA must provide three references and a current W-9 form; CPA reserves the right to award by item or in combination and does not guarantee lowest-price awards.
